+## Astar
+
+[Astar Network](https://astar.network) and its sister network
+[Shiden Network](https://shiden.astar.network) are the smart contract infrastructure in the Polkadot
+Ecosystem. Astar Ecosystem ("Astar") supports NFTs developed with EVM smart contracts and WASM smart
+contracts.
+
+Astar has all toolings available that every EVM NFT developer knows. The availability of those
+toolings makes the onboarding to Astar networks very attractive to any developer looking to explore
+the Polkadot Ecosystem. Astar has an active community of artists and NFT enthusiasts. Besides
+supporting all EVM toolings, Astar also bootstrapped the WASM smart contract environment for NFT
+developers writing smart contracts with [ink!](https://use.ink) based on
+[PSP34](https://github.com/w3f/PSPs/blob/master/PSPs/psp-34.md) (Polkadot Standards Proposals).
+
+The main advantage of having a multi-virtual machine environment for NFT developers is that it will
+give more possibilities to the builders for the use case they are developing. With the support of
+WASM smart contracts, developers can develop solutions like [RMRK](./learn-nft#rmrk) with smart
+contracts.
+
+## Basilisk
+
+[Basilisk](https://bsx.fi/) is a Kusama parachain that provides liquidity for the ecosystem. It also
+has a full-featured NFT platform based on the
+[Uniques pallet](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/tree/master/frame/uniques). One of the key
+features of Basilisk is that it allows minting NFTs with a royalty fee. This royalty fee is
+distributed to the original creator of the NFT via the runtime pallet. Additionally
+[Basilisk offers a feature](https://github.com/galacticcouncil/Basilisk-node/tree/master/pallets/marketplace)
+that allows creating a buy order for a specific NFT.
+
+These NFTs can be viewed and interacted instantly on [KodaDot](https://kodadot.xyz).
+

+
+## Efinity
+
+Spearheaded by [Enjin](https://enjin.io), the authors of Ethereum's ERC1155 standard and makers of
+the Enjin wallet and Unity plugin, which allows easy implementation of NFTs into 3D games, Efinity
+is an NFT bridging chain coming to Kusama and Polkadot in 2022.
+
+They plan to build a _paratoken_ which would be a standard for token migration across different
+parachains in the Polkadot ecosystem, but also into and out of Ethereum and other EVM systems.
+
+## [KodaDot](https://kodadot.xyz)
+
+[KodaDot](https://kodadot.xyz) is an open-source NFT marketplace that operates on the Dotsama
+(Kusama/Polkadot) network, striving to aggregate various NFT standards (Kusama, RMRK, Statemine,
+Basilisk, etc.) in the Dotsama ecosystem, enhancing user experience by abstracting these standards.
+
+KodaDot's strength lies in its commitment to open-source collaboration. It has transformed into a
+collaborative hub where creators, developers, and community members work collectively for decision
+making, amassing an extensive network of over
+[90 open-source contributors](https://hello.kodadot.xyz/about-us/who-are-we/achievements). This
+robust collaboration has earned KodaDot the
+[number one rank as a dapp in the Polkadot ecosystem on Github](https://github.com/topics/polkadot).
+
+![kodadot.png](../assets/nft/kodadot.png)
+
+### The Team Behind KodaDot
+
+KodaDot began as the first
+[unofficial explorer for RMRKv0.0.1](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/motion/256)
+[contributing to RMRK protocol](https://github.com/rmrk-team/rmrk-spec/issues/10). It later
+[received Kusama Treasury funding](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/motion/349), which propelled the
+team to create the
+[best end-user experience on Statemine](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/motion/349).
+
+In the summer of 2022, KodaDot won the first prize at the
+[Polkadot North American event](https://devpost.com/software/kodadot-moonsama) for implementing
+MoonBeam and MoonRiver NFT EVM smart contracts and enabling read-only access to existing components
+for seamless end-user interaction.
+
+The team successfully
+[launched with Basilisk NFT Marketplace pallet in Fall 2022](https://github.com/kodadot/nft-gallery/issues/660),
+where an increasing number of artist collections are emerging, providing artists the opportunity to
+receive offers on unlisted NFTs and earn on-chain royalties.
+
+KodaDot's upcoming integrations are based on
+[PSP-34](https://github.com/w3f/PSPs/blob/master/PSPs/psp-34.md), leveraging
+[smart contracts written with ink!](https://use.ink/).
+
+### Ecosystem Tools by KodaDot
+
+KodaDot has enriched the Polkadot ecosystem by
+[offering a comprehensive API interface for builders](https://github.com/kodadot/uniquery), based on
+the SubSquid indexer. This platform also presents searchable items and collections, translating
+on-chain transactions into deep insights about collection ownership dynamics for end-users. For more
+info about KodaDot check out [link](https://hello.kodadot.xyz/).
+
+## Moonbeam
+
+[Moonbeam](https://moonbeam.network) and its Kusama counterpart Moonriver are full EVM deployments
+with Ethereum RPC endpoints.
+
+This means that the entire toolkit offered to other EVM chains (stacks like Hardhat, Remix, Truffle,
+Metamask, etc.) are available to Moonriver / Moonbeam users and developers, giving it a noticeable
+head start in attracting existing userbases.
+
+Several dozen high profile teams are launching their products (or re-launching) on Moonriver /
+Moonbeam, however, it is essential to note that Moonbeam is an EVM chain and will therefore suffer
+from the same limitations as any other EVM chain in regards to customization and feature-richness of
+NFTs.
+
+A notable advantage, however, is that Moonriver / Moonbeam is still a Substrate chain, meaning
+integration of custom pallets into the runtime is still possible, making NFT specific optimizations
+at the chain runtime level a reliable way to keep EVM compatibility of tools while at the same time
+optimizing storage and interactions for rich NFTs.
+
+## RMRK
+
+[RMRK](https://rmrk.app) is a set of NFT 2.0 standards developed in three distinct code flavors:
+
+1. ["Colored coins"](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Colored_Coins) approach, as on Bitcoin, originally
+   developed as a "hack" on the Kusama chain. This is now deprecated, and it is recommended
+   implementers use any of the other options.
+2. Solidity contracts, compatible with any EVM blockchain in and outside the Polkadot ecosystem.
+   Documented [here](https://evm.rmrk.app)
+3. Rust code (Substrate pallets), compatible with any Substrate chain. Code is available
+   [here](https://github.com/rmrk-team/rmrk-substrate).
+
+Additionally, two more flavors are in development:
+
+1. [Astar](https://astar.network/) are developing the ink! version of RMRK:
+   [code here](https://github.com/rmrk-team/rmrk-ink).
+2. [Gear Technologies](https://www.gear-tech.io/) are developing the Gear implementation:
+   [code and docs here](https://wiki.gear-tech.io/docs/examples/rmrk/).
+
+The RMRK NFT 2.0 standards are a set of "NFT legos", primitives that, when put together, allow a
+builder to compose an NFT system of arbitrary complexity without smart contracts.
+
+### NFT Legos
+
+1. NFTs can own other NFTs, NFTs can equip other NFTs for visual change
+2. NFTs can have multiple resources (different outputs based on context and resource priority)
+3. NFTs can have on-chain emotes (reactions) for price discovery and social mechanics
+4. NFTs have conditional rendering (e.g. show Mona Lisa as blushing if she got 50 kissy 😘 emoji)
+5. NFTs can be governed by the community via fungible shareholder-tokens (fractionalization of NFTs)
+
+### NFT from [Kanaria](https://kanaria.rmrk.app)
+
+![kanaria.png](../assets/nft/kanaria.png)
+
+:::note Multi-resource NFTs
+
+A multi-resource NFT (gif of statue, and SVG-composable dynamic NFT in one) that can also equip
+other NFTs from within its "inventory".
+
+:::
+
+Two marketplaces for RMRK-based NFTs exist with hundreds of projects already launched:
+
+- [Singular](https://singular.rmrk.app), the official marketplace
+
+For a complete introduction into RMRK, see [this presentation](https://url.rmrk.app/wasmconf) or
+read [the non-technical docs](https://docs.rmrk.app).
+
+## Statemint
+
+Statemint is a generic assets parachain which provides functionality for deploying and transferring
+assets — both Fungible and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). It is a system parachain on Polkadot (not to
+be confused with [Statemine](https://guide.kusama.network/docs/kusama-statemine/), which is a
+parachain on Kusama). Statemint currently hosts
+[Uniques pallet](./learn-nft-pallets.md/#uniques-pallet) and its functionalities. The
+[NFTs pallet](./learn-nft-pallets.md#nfts-pallet) with NFT 2.0 functionalities is available for
+testing on Westmint, which is a system parachain on Polkadot's testnet Westmint.
+
+## Unique Network
+
+[Unique network](https://unique.network/), an NFT-specific blockchain offering innovations such as
+sponsored transactions, bundling fungible tokens with non-fungibles, and splitting NFTs into
+fungible tokens for partial ownership.
+
+Unique Network have launched two NFT projects to date: Substrapunks as part of
+[Hackusama](https://hackusama.devpost.com/), and Chelobricks as a promotion during
+[Polkadot Decoded](https://decoded.polkadot.network/).
+
+Unique Network focuses on B2B use cases, aiming to be an infrastructure provider for others to build
+on, rather than entering the NFT space themselves as an end-product.
+
+Unique Network aims to make their marketplace technology open-source and whitelabel-friendly. In
+theory, it should be trivial to set up a new marketplace for your project using Unique's technology.
+Unique network aims to be a parachain on Polkadot, and Quartz is their Kusama counterpart.
